So you just want to raid 25mans with us? No 10mans?

Youre chars gear looks ok. But can you explain youre gemming?

And why don't you have Arcane Absorption in youre specc? You realize it's free xtra spell dmg on every fight when you got a disc priest around? (which will be most likely every raid in EoL)

EoL members are expected to know their class well, the weird gemming and youre specc suggests that you have some reading to do mate!Happy

But if youre willing to put in the effort needed, then I don't see why you shouldn't get the chance!

Just to help clarify, you want to raid 25 man content here, but raid 10 man content with your current guild?

About gemming. Mages has never gemmed for haste in wotlk. I understand the need when you got crap gear and need haste for arcane to work, but it's not the case here.

As a mage you would gem for SP, in as many sockets as possibly possible, if not use Sp/Haste or Sp/spirit.

Gemming purely for haste is a dps waste. And you will need every bit of dps you can sqeeze out! wink

Please answer also why you don't have Arcane Absorption in youre specc? Happy

k , i want to raid 25 man and 10 man here and 10 man with luma .

10 man with luma is on other chars so this char will be for me to raid with with EOL.

K back to gemming , i never meant for it to come across that i was gemming for haste , iofc will be going to sp as main gems , but i need 2 x sp /haste - sp/ spirit to activate the meta,

Also in relation to the spec , that talent as i read it is near enought to useless , and i have had a read and check of some specs as u mentioned it and have found 3 diff arcane specs that dot evern consider it, also i read it as raising your resistances of certain magics by 40 (0.5) per level) and a 2% mana regen at max , and that's if u resist the spell , 1 i dont plan on getting hit with spells , 2 personally after what i have read seems like a dead talent for arcane mage.

Mani are you referring to Incanter's Absorption ?

If so, you missed the fact it no longer interacts with any kind of absorbs that are from sources other than the mage themselves. So, only fire and frost ward or mana shield will proc it nowadays.

As far as I see what Butchus is saying in regards to his raiding schedule. He is fully investing this character in EoL, but would like to raid with his other on a Thursday and Monday*?

Anyway, onto the app. Others can speak greater weights on mages than myself. Butchus came into a Lume Quenta ICC10 Pug a while back and we were impressed with his attitude and asked him to apply. (This was on his Prot Warrior) At the time his was joint GM of <The Reckoners> but had one or two issues there with the raiding style and progression.

He has a whopping 8 level 80's (He manages to maintain all 8 in weeklys and daily hcs :S) and as such all are equipped well to handle ICC10 and a few of which are capable of HM's

After my recent return, I was just speaking about raiding with EoL on vent, and as they were all highly positive things, as you can expect it proc'd Butchus' interest and he asked whether it'd be a good idea to apply.

He's a good player and has good initiative. I can trust him in raids to make the right decision without needing to tell him. He's friendly and puts a great deal of care into what he's doing, he will always ask questions when he is unsure (Although most of the time after my long boss explanations he just goes "So my role is to do ____ " where ___ is everything he should be doing, indicating he listened and understood, which is awesome to me.) He cares about the people he's raiding with and is very quick to apologize if something goes wrong, and even quicker at times to apologize when he's done nothing wrong! ;P

Hey Scarlets!

Thanx you for applying with Echoes of Lordaeron.
I'll be doing a quick review of your toon, and will try to be of any use might I see something less usefull for a raiding toon.

Gear and Enchants
Some gems were already mentioned by above posters, such as the haste gems.
Like Maniok said, pure haste isn't the way to go, although your haste isn't particurly high.
That said, I find the Intellect gems a bit more worrying.
Get rid of those, if you need a yellow gem for a bonus, go for the SP/Haste ones, the Reckless Amatrines.
Try to swap out the PvP bracers, perhaps the Bejeweled Wizard Bracers is an option, will help you with a bit more haste aswell.
Also, get the SP/Spirit legpatch, spirit isn't all that, but extra stamina won't help your DPS at all.
To that extend, your boots enchant seems a tad wasted aswell.
Personally I think you're better off with Tuskarr's Vitality.
Less movement = more DPS, certainly as Arcane, and certainly in ICC.
Then there's your weapon...
It's a damn nice weapon to have, but a good onehander, and a nice offhander, will yield you alot more haste, and perhaps some crit.
Obviously, this will result in more damage done over the course of a fight.

Then there's one more thing, and I've been saving this for last...
You don't have any T10!!
Seriously, forget everything I said above, and get some T10 first... Or rather, all of it, except the pants.
The bonussen are immense, and can't be overlooked.
There's no way in hell you'll be able to stack enough haste, crit or SP to overcome the loss of the setbonusses, really. wink

Talents and Glyphs
At first, there's Student of the Mind.
This is almost a complete waste of 3 valuable talentpoints. wink
Fill out Magic Attunement, to move less, and be able to cast more.
Magic Absorption would get ya 'bout 30% less incoming dmg from magic, the mana return is just an added bonus.
Arcane Stability is an option aswell, although not very usefull in ICC.
Hell, even Slow would serve you better then Student of the Mind. Happy
The added dmg on Blizzard you get from Ice Shard isn't that usefull either, Arcane magi aren't build for massive AoE.
In combination with the glyphs, Frost Warding is alot more usefull.

That brings us to the glyphs.
The needed ones are there, although the minors could be optimized.
I recommend taking the Frost and Fire Ward glyph, combined with the aformentioned talent.
The Arcane Brilliance and Frost Armor glyphs are useless once the fight has started. wink


One more thing, Mining might not serve you in a fight, however, Kudos for lvling JC! wink
I'll leave the rest to Illva, regarding experience, raiding, etc.

Good luck on your application!
